Run average
Run average (RA) is a less often-used metric to gauge a pitcher's efficacy. Unlike the more well-known earned run average, run average takes into account all runs scored on a pitcher, whether they are earned or not. Runs scored on, or created by, errors are therefore counted in run average.
RA = (Runs Allowed * 9) / Innings Pitched
